Short Weights in Cotton.
Another Letter from Farmer.

MIR EDITOR On reading the edito'
rial comments of Neus and Courier
Dec. 9th, the quaint words OF Frank
| lin in 1859, occur to me:
"a single man may be afraid OF
ashamed of doing injustice; x x
by dividing the shame among them
it is SO little apiece that no one minds
il"
How applicable to Charleston Cot
ton Exchange!
I do not think or suppose for a mo.
ment that Captain Dawson intended
to do me any intentional discourtesy.
You must reflect that he is in the
midst of "bulls" and ''bears," and re-
member the words OF Rabelaio about
that ssill-bird' and tits own nest ]
am very much obliged to you, and am
sure nv farmer friends will appreci-
ate your just and manly explanation.
It has brought the gf7darits out.
"Resolved; That the Exchange does
not believe the charge that there is
justification Of weights OF cotton by
any cotton factor, &C.
Who said there was by any partlcu-
lar factor?

TWO AUDITORS.

Quite an anomalous state of affairs
exists in the auditors Office. Capt.
D. J. Bradham, the newly appointed
auditor, on receiving his commission
dated the 26th of December. 1886,
took charge OF the Office with the con-
sent of the incumbent, Junius E. Scott,
Esq. Subsequently Mr.. Scott discov-
cred that his commission did not ex-
pire until the 18th OF January, 1887.
Then the question arose, who is the
auditor OF Clarendon County to Janu-
cry the 2Sth? Both gentlemen claim
the position, and each have the seal
OF the State, vesting him with the Of
fee. It is pleasure to note that the
most perfect harmeny prevails be-
tween the contestants, and they have
very amicably referred their respect
i've claims to the Governor for his
adjudication.
We have no desire to, in this way,
promote the chances of either party,
but viewing the matter as We do, it is
very clear that the facts are in favor
of the old auditor, Mr.. Scott. When
ever the State by its commission un-
der seal vests an Office in party for
o specified length OF time, it becomes
an inherent right and cannot be ta-
ken away except for cause. Nor can
any Executive or Legislature invali-
date any such grant vested by their
predecessors. The commission sp-
pointing the auditor creates the privi-
lege of holding the Office till the ex-
piration of the time mentioned there
in. But this anomaly, which is calcu-
lated to make confusion in the admin
istration of the county government,
should not be allowed by the Ezecu-
tive of the State.

of social re-adjustnent, will also have
hearing upon the anaval question?
He says the Americn Republic has
no more need for its burlesque Of a
navy than a peaceable giant would
have for stuffed club or a sword.
1t is only maintained for the sake OF
the officers and the naval rings. In
peace it is only a source of expense
and corruption; in war it would be
useless. We are too strong for any
foreign power to wontonly attack, we
ought to be too great to wontonly at
tack others. If war should ever be
forced upon us, we could safely rely
on science nd invention, which are
already superseding navies aster than
they can be built. So with our army.
All we need, if We even now need that,
is small force of frontier policemen
such as IS maintained in Canada and
Australia. Standing navies and ar
mics are inimical to the genius of dem
ocracy and it ought to be our pride
as it is our duty, to show the world
that great Republic can dispense
with both; and in organization as in
principle both our army and navy are
repugnant to the democratic idea
In both we maintain that distinction
between commissioned officers and
common soldiers and sailors which
arose in Europe when the nobility
who furnished the one were consider
ed superior race to the serfs and
peasants who supplied the other. The
whole system is an insult to democra-
cy, and ought to beswept away. Our
diplomatic system, too, is servile]y CO.
pied from the usage of kings before
the ocean steamer and the telegraph
were invented. It serves no purpose
save to reward politicians and occa-
sionally to demoralize poet, To
abolish it would save expense, corrup-
ton, and national dignity.

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years, has astonish-
ed the world. 1t is without doubt the safest
and best remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and etfectual cure of Coughs. Colds
and the severest Lung troubles. It acts on
an entirely different principal from the us
ual prescriptions given by Physicians, as it
does not dry up the cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary, removes the cause Of the trouble, heals
the parts affected, and leaves them in e
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept in
the house for use when the diseases make
their appearance, will save doctors bills and
a long spell of serious illness. \ trial will
convince you of these facts. It is positive
ly sold by all druggists and general dealers
in the land. Price Is cents, large bottles.

Washington Letter.
From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. S, 1887.


That human life is made up Of start
ling contrasts.is probably nowhere SO
often felt as at the Capitol of great
nation. On the last day of the old
year, amid great pomp and display OF
official mourning, all that was mortal
of one of the most prominent men in
American publicyife, was laid away
in the tomb. The following day was
the most brilliant one of the Wash
ington social season, and the gay
world of fashion began its round of
festivals.
Atthe beginning Of this new year,
it is ssmore difficult than usual to let
the dead past bury its dead. Visions
of the future will mingle with refec-
tions of days that are gone. Death
made an exceptional havoc among
leading men in 1886, as is shown b
the names of Hancock, Tilden, Nc
Clellan, Arthur, Hendricks, and Lo-
gan.
At the funeral of C,ueral Logan,
held in the Senate Chamber, were
present men and women representing
the highest and lowliest people in the
country. Of his comrades in arms,
Generals Sherman, Sheridan, and
Oglesby were prominent, with hun
dreds of others. soldiers of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Members and
ex-members of both houses of Con-
eress, with whom he had served many
years, we're there, among them the
notable figures of Roscoe Conkling
and William Evarts, while in front Of
these sat the members of the Supreme
Court and the Cabinet officers. The
chair provided for the President was
vacant. He was anxious to be pres
ent, but the day was exceedingly IN
clement, and having been confined to
the house for a week previous with
another rheumatic attack, his physi-
clan advised him not to subject him
self to the drafts that are SO prevalent
in the Capitol building
No great political measures have
been consuumated during 1886, ex-
cept that which deals with the Indian
question, but others have been lnaug-
urated, and it yet remains to be seen
what shall become of a protective tar
if: a currency agitation. the Blair ed
ucationa, bill, and further develop
ments of civil service reform. But
while the region of practical politics
have been comparatively barren,
movements are on foot which are rap
idly forming opinion in one direction
or the other for serious legislation IN
the future.
There are. as yet, no coast defenses,
and no navy. And will there ever be,
and have we any real need for ether
That is the question. Is it not possible
that the principles Of Henry George
which have taken root in some qnar-
ters. and which will have to be reck-
onea with in any thorough scheme

is He MAD Z?

- &SsSS@ &@S-& -~'
TO the Neus and Courier is on the
outside Of this TINES. The letter
claims to be a reply to certain COM
snents Of the Ne,cs and Courier on the
defeat of the FARMERS agricultural
bin," but Capt. Tillman uses the op-
portunity to open his mind to those
who were instrumental in defeating
that measure. He is evidently sore
nor does he mind letting people see
that he is mad. IS usual the legal
fraternity are the targets for his
splenetic shafts, "My old friends, the
lawyers" he says, 'stook advantage Of
the fuss kicked up by Messrs- You
mans and WoHord to plant a sly dag
ger in Iillman's side and slap their
agricultural constituents who have
Joined the farmers movement in the
face" In truth, Farmer Tillman, ,
must have allowed his hob6y-horse
to run him mad when he charges such
men as klar, McMaster, Patterson,
Rhame, Howell, Munroe, and Smythe,
whose names are an honor to their
State, with being Influenced by petty
jealousy and a mean spirit of revenge
in casting their vote.
Again, in summing up, Capt. TIL
man gives these reasons why the agg-
ricultural bill was defeated: "Of
course some of the senators voted
against it because of their resentment
sgainst Tillman dictstion; some vot-
ed-two at least-because they nev-
er vote against one of the Senators
from Charleston; others voted against
it because I am credited with having
had much to do with the slaughter
of the Columbia Canal, and the Ring
wanted revenge; some voted against
It because farmers and farmers move
ments stink in their nostrils- But
the real cause, though many senators
do not know it, perhaps, is that the
phosphate interests of the State are
controlled by the department of agri-
culture. and the Coosaw Mining
Company is too well satisfied with the
present management Of that interest
to allow change if it could prevent
it."
It is unhappily apparent that no
one OF the 21 senators who opposed
the agricultural bill is credited with
honesty or sincerity in his opposition.
Malice, pique, desire for revenge, ig-
norance, and all the little low mean
cussedness that Capt. Tillman can
command be lays at their door.
Capt. Tillman's pointless shafts will
fall harmless where they are aimed,
snd rebound to his own injury. It is
safe and no more than justice to as
sert that the men who opposed the
agricultural bill acted with as much
good faith as it's well wishers.
But Capt Iillman is verify mad,
and when he cools off let US pray that
he will heed the divine command,
"Judge not, that ye be not judged"
